10 WWE Heels Who Were Too Entertaining To Boo

Chris Jericho is a born villain. Even when playing babyface, Jericho was gleefully obnoxious and insulting, and thought nothing of humiliating his opponents before a live audience. Bold, brash, and flashy, he’s a perfect arrogant heel, and should absolutely be considered among the greatest WWE performers of all-time.

Jericho is just too good to boo for any great length of time. People can’t look beyond the quality of his work, and inevitably, Jericho gets cheers every time he walks out. You just know that Jericho is going to deliver the goods whenever he picks up a microphone or steps into the ring, and it’s hard to despise a man who has your attention in the palm of his hand every time he appears.

He’s had a long career, but 2016 will go down as one of Jericho’s better years in terms of popularity. Though he started the year as a tiresome babyface, Jericho soon transitioned towards something resembling his old self. He got "stupid idiot" over as a catchphrase, for God's sake, and his list was one of the most popular things in the company, cementing his late-career greatness.
